What kind of fish do they even have in Washington?
I guess there must be fish in there somewhere, but do the killer whales eat 'em?

'Evening! Here's a thing...

Got my free turkey at work today. Don't like turkey. Taking a small ham to "share" at my aunt'n'uncle's on The Day.

I think I'll be looking up "places to donate food" that will take perishables. Maybe run it out to the Soldier's Home or sumpin'.

Trouble is, I work all day every day but the day itself, by which time a frozen turkey is just More Food For Later rather than A Celebratory Entree.

We'll see...

My good friend... we have the King of fishes... the fish that once you've fished successfully for, you'll abandon the fishing for all else: The Chinook Salmon. :-)

In Puget Sound, they are typically in the 15 to 30lb range, though the record on sport tackle in Washington is something on the order of 105 or 110 lbs.

They're perhaps one of the more fun fish to play and catch in the world. They run like crazy when hooked, and have to be played carefully. They generally get hooked very lightly in a very soft mouth, and so must be played slowly and carefully to avoid just tearing out the hook and losing the fish.

My personal best for Chinook was a 45 pounder I got up in Sekiu, on a flyrod, of all things. It took maybe 45 minutes to get it up to the boat for the last time and into the net.

Oh... and to answer the other part of your question...

The Killer Whales (Orcas) are not much of a threat to salmon. They feed mostly on seals and such. Salmon are just a little too quick for them. It's actually the seals that are the main predator on salmon.
